ITHACA, N.Y. — The women's squash team will celebrate its Senior Day on Saturday, when it hosts Harvard for a noon match at Belkin International Squash Courts.
Cornell (5-9, 1-5 Ivy League), ranked 11th in the nation by the College Squash Association, will be taking on a top-ranked Harvard (13-0, 6-0) squad that has not been defeated since Jan. 11, 2015. The Crimson's winning streak has reached 79 matches after victories over Brown and Yale last weekend.
The Big Red is coming off a pair of Ivy League losses last weekend to highly-ranked squads. Cornell was topped by second-ranked Princeton, 8-1, on Friday before a 7-2 loss to Penn on Sunday. Sophomore
Sivasangari Subramaniam won both days to improve to 12-0 on the season from the No. 1 position. Her match against the Quakers was the first time this season that she's been pushed to five games.
Sunday's other point came from freshman
McKenna Stoltz, who has won five of her last seven matches to improve to 8-5 on the season. That's good for second on the team in victories, pulling one ahead of sophomore
Lily Zelov (7-7) and freshman
Mia Krishnamurthy (7-6). Cornell has never defeated Harvard in 26 all-time meetings between the programs.
As the final home match of the season for the Big Red, Saturday will serve as the program's Senior Day to commemorate the careers of
Colby Gallagher,
Lucy Martin and
Madison Miles.
